Elections Canada faces 31000 complaints in robo-call probe

Re-post from Occupy Canada page 

The ballot watchdog reported that as of Friday morning it had registered 31,000 "contacts" or messages from Canadians regarding the 2011 federal election campaign and the use of fraudulent, misleading or harassing calls designed to suppress votes. The number vastly outdistances grievances lodged after previous general elections.

Harper didn't "win" by much (6201 votes is the sum of the closest 14 margins of victory in those ridings) and the cons we now know cheated...

The Conservatives won their majority with 166 seats. That's a margin of 11. That means the legitimacy of the Tory majority is in question. It's simple math.
